Gray was limited to 23 appearances in 2024 due to groin and foot injuries, with that workload being the lowest since his rookie campaign for full-length seasons. The left-hander's average fastball velocity dropped nearly a full tick to 94.9 mph, with a 19.6 percent strikeout rate being the first time in his career it dipped below 20 percent in a full season. A 4.47 ERA doesn't seem so bad given those concerns, but they're notable developments for a pitcher that's posted an ERA below 4.00 just three times in 10 MLB seasons (and just once in the past five years). That doesn't mean everything since he spent his first seven years in Colorado, but he hasn't taken the steps forward that were expected while no longer having Coors Field as his home park. Gray could be a difference maker if he can put it all together in 2025, but that doesn't seem overly likely given his in consistent track record. Read Past Outlooks
